Comments Thread For: De La Hoya Responds To Errol Spence's Stance on Promoters

[IMDAZED]

Balanced reporting?

Yeah right. That part where Oscar says, “But you’re right...” shows you the kind kf questions being asked. What kind of reporter even leaves that part in the published article

Weird, but not surprising that Steve Kim would contact Oscar to comment on that story. What was the point of getting Oscar's side unless you're trying to push a narrative?

you must not have read the article. It clearly says oscar contacting him.

Oscar has a good point. I love the way Spence fights but I don't see him getting closer to a PPV star at all. He is Canelo's age or older and has the skills to keep up with everyone, yet he is not become a huge star.

Good points by Oscar. Spence should be a big star. So should Wilder. Al Haymon is holding these guys back.

No, Oscar contradicted himself. There are many boxers who have promoters, so why is only guy able to sell ppvs?

I just don't see how Spence would be doing any better under GBP then he is by himself.

He wouldn’t lol. He’s still getting his fights on main events and a big network. He wouldn’t be a ppv Star with him. Loma and bud aren’t stars with a promoter. Spence is basically the same level of popularity

Oscar is being extremely short sighted. Not EVERY good fighter SHOULD be a ppv king. Not EVERY good fighter in the past was a ppv attraction. Being good isn't the only prerequisite to being a ppv star.

You don't become a star by having a promoter, you become a star by being involved in high-profile fights. Spence is doing just fine, those fights will eventually happen.

ETA: you also become a star by having everybody talk about you.

Who else is Oscar promoting that is a star or is on the rise other than Canelo??? Why doesn't he help his nephew become a star Diego De La Hoya???? Asking/saying!!

[Jimmy gold]

Errol is a cherry picking steroid using hype job lol

[AdonisCreed]

I guess Oscar wants Spence fighting on ESPN ppv seeing as how ESPN pay per view events are all anyone is talking about anymore.
